Description

The Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge is a historic landmark located in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand.

The bridge spans the Kawarau River and is situated in a picturesque location that attracts tourists from all over the world.

The bridge was built in 1880 and was the first suspension bridge to be constructed in the country. It was originally used as a transportation route for gold miners who were working in the area. Today, the bridge is primarily used for bungee jumping, which has become a popular activity for thrill-seekers.

Despite its age, the bridge has been well-maintained and is still in use today. It is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the engineers who designed and built it over a century ago. Visitors to the area can enjoy the stunning views of the river and surrounding landscape from the bridge, as well as experience the thrill of bungee jumping from its heights.
